Jump map from Travellermap.com

Trnibaql is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is a client state of the Zhodani Consulate in the Vanguard Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld, located in the outer system. It is the closest world to the star.
• x2 frigidly cold exotic atmosphere secondary rocky worlds, both lying in the far outer system.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the outer system.

• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.
• The habitable zone is empty.

Mainworld Size (S)

Trnibaql is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Trnibaql has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Trnibaql has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Satellites

Trnibaql does not retain any natural satellites.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

No native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Trnibaql is a corporate outpost with little development. The starport is gradually being expanded, with the eventual aim of upgrading it to a Class B facility.

• It is sponsored and supported by the Zhodani Consulate as part of a gradual expansion into the region.
• The resources of the system are being explored.

There is limited activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively infrequent: ships only occasionally visit.
• Commo occasionally picks up signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• Vessels rarely operate among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Trnibaql has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

• There is construction work being undertaken at the port. Many areas are off limits.

World Population (P)

Trnibaql has population of 800 sophonts (hundreds).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.

Urbanization

A few small facilities, each with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• All lie within a single small region of the surface.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Trnibaql possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Trnibaql is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Military

Corporate security personnel.

World Law (L)

Trnibaql has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
